As a Behaviorist, I understand that every dog has unique needs, personalities, temperaments, and confidence levels. After about 20,000 dogs trained plus 11,000 that I have done temperament evaluations for, my experience has taught me that providing dogs with a sense of purpose is crucial for their well-being. Therefore, I believe that giving dogs a job should be the primary objective of any training program. Clear communication is also essential for effective training. Yelling or being harsh is not an effective way to communicate with dogs. Instead, motivation techniques with clear communication and trust to teach dogs boundaries and consequences, which helps them understand the world around them.

Introducing "TrioTrain" - a unique mini group dedicated to improving on-leash handling around other dogs in a controlled environment. This specialized training program is designed for three to four dogs and their handlers, who will work together to achieve a common goal: reducing frustration when approaching and passing other dogs.
Whether it's due to a desire to meet, a tendency to challenge, aggression, or fear, frustration around other dogs can be a significant issue for many dogs and their owners. That's why Trio Training focuses on creating a positive and supportive environment where dogs can learn how to behave appropriately around other dogs.
Through structured exercises and techniques, TrioTrain helps dogs and handlers develop the skills and confidence they need to navigate encounters with other dogs calmly and confidently. By working together in a group setting, handlers can practice their skills in a controlled and safe environment, with the support of experienced other teams of Handler & Dog.
If you're looking for a fun and effective way to improve your dog's on-leash handling skills and reduce frustration around other dogs, TrioTraining may be something you want to try.

Puppy/Beginner Group Class

I Speak Dog is proud to offer Group Classes that are designed to socialize your pups and dogs while also helping them learn obedience and manners. With 19 years of experience of teaching group classes, I have developed a proven curriculum that is perfect for puppies and adult dogs alike. My Puppy/Beginner lecture course is specifically designed to help your dog become more comfortable around other dogs and learn how to ignore them when necessary. I prioritize safety and therefore, nose-to-nose greetings or play are not allowed unless it is part of a specific teaching lesson. By teaching your dog how to ignore other dogs and focus on you, they will pay more attention to you throughout the class. I will also explain the long term effects of this in class, so you can better understand your dog's behavior.
My Intermediate class is a Workshop that builds on the knowledge learned in the Beginner series. After graduating from the Beginner series, you and your dog will be ready for the next step. The Intermediate class is designed to create a bonding experience between you and your dog while also reinforcing the iSpeak Dog! teachings. We use AKC Rally and Agility as well as Focused Based Heeling to help your dog learn new skills and push their limits each week. Unlike the Beginner series, the Intermediate class does not have a specific curriculum. Instead, I tailor each class to the specific dogs that attend and work on skills that are most relevant to them. The Workshop class allows you to challenge your dog a little harder each class and achieve your training goals in a fun and supportive environment. Come and join Group Classes and see the difference it can make in your dog's behavior and socialization skills.

I understand the importance of building a strong bond between pet owners and their pups. With over 23 years of experience, every single day has been dedicated to understanding different types and behaviors of dogs. My goal is to teach pet owners how to train their dogs and reinforce positive behaviors through a variety of techniques and tools. I provide extensive knowledge of dog behavior, instincts, health, and nutrition, while also offering specialized techniques for unwanted behaviors like excessive jumping, mouthing, and barking. I'm also equipped to handle any dogs, from pulling on the leash to aggression. My approach is to reward good behavior and redirect unwanted ones, all while bridging the communication gap between dog language and human language. Please reach out with any questions.
